My 10 year old has been bitten by the hunting, fishing and just about anything outdoors bug pretty bad. This year I took him out on youth duck day in Maine for an afternoon hunt on a pond that we've done a little fishing at and have typically seen ducks on. When we first showed up the water was so low even getting the canoe in was tricky due to some deep mud. We paddled the shore and saw a couple teal tucked in by some downed trees. He got his gun up as we floated within range and ended up missing them, most likely due to bad coaching on my part. On the shot multiple birds from all over the pond took flight and to make a long story short some made the bad decision of circling right over our boat. He was able to knock one down and after a tricky and muddy retrieval could not have been more proud.
Last weekend I took him out with a friend of ours in NH. We ended up cold and very wet but were able to come home with a few ducks. Woodies this time. They were a little to quick for him to shoot but I was able to take a few home. I'll see about getting some pictures up.
